GOSHEN — A former Orange County man was charged Thursday by Family Court warrant with failing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in child and spousal support.

Kurtiss Tomasovich, 51, of Ocala, Fla. was picked up Thursday afternoon at White Plains federal court by investigators from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the federal Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. Tomasovich was in White Plains on a federal count of failing to pay $158,708 in child support.

The Orange County warrant charges that he failed to pay a separate total of $452,000 in spousal and child support, of which $162,000 is unpaid child support. On May 8, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara noted that while skipping support payments, Tomasovich and his current wife bought and developed property in Florida. The federal court raised his bail Thursday from $10,000 to $25,000.

Tomasovich was arraigned Thursday evening in Goshen Village Court. Judge Rory Brady set bail at $25,000 cash or $50,000 bond. Tomasovich is to appear Friday in Orange County Family Court.
